Alright I'm at a loss currently....my mother in law keeps arguing with me about #Bitcoin her main point is that if the ledger uses the internet in order to sync and legitimate itself.
What happenes to the Bitcoin protocol if the internet is wiped out i.e. solar flare emp attack, or grid destabilizing.

I haven't been able to answer this question because in reality I don't know the truth.

The way I understand it is that without a network i.e. the internet bitcoin cannot sync nor can it connect to other nodes in the network, so the ledger itself would only be backed up to the point of failure. (When the network was attacked) As long as one node still has the entirety of the protocol and ledger then you could restart from that pount. But theoretically Bitcoin is rendered useless during the time that the internet is down. That's my take.

Is there in fact a way bitcoin could operate without the connection or am I correct in my assumption?

If I have this completley wrong please tell me what and where I've gone off course.

Thanks plebs
